Authenticate the Blogs API integration with your API key or OAuth token; ensure the token has the proper scopes for read and write access.
Datadog uses an API key or OAuth token to authorize requests to Blogs API and to push data into dashboards securely.
– GET /blogs/posts; – POST /blogs/posts; – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; – GET /blogs/categories; – GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: whenever a new post is published or updated.
Actions: push post data to Datadog, update monitors, and generate events.
GET /blogs/posts
postId, title, slug, author, published_at
Trigger: daily at 2:00 AM local time.
Actions: batch pull of new posts and summarize metrics in dashboards.
GET /blogs/posts?since=yesterday
postId, category, word_count, reading_time
Trigger: on publish or update events.
Actions: emit Datadog events and update relevant dashboards.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, status, last_modified
Fast setup with point‑and‑click templates—no coding required.
Real‑time visibility into content performance on Datadog dashboards.
Automated alerts help teams stay aligned on posting cadence and health.
This section defines the data elements, triggers, and processes that move data from Blogs API into Datadog dashboards and alerts.
A set of endpoints and methods that let Datadog read and write data to Blogs API.
A specific path and HTTP method used to access a resource in Blogs API.
A listener that notifies Datadog when events occur in Blogs API.
Authorization framework that grants access to Blogs API without sharing credentials.
Create live Datadog dashboards that reflect new posts, categories, and engagement metrics.
Set up alerts when posts miss schedules or hit performance thresholds.
Track slug consistency and URL health with automated checks in Datadog.
Obtain your API key or OAuth token from Blogs API and add it to Datadog’s integration settings.
Set up the endpoints you will poll or push to, and map fields to Datadog monitors.
Run a test to confirm data flows into Datadog and then go live with scheduled checks.
You can pull posts, authors, categories, and basic post metrics for dashboards. Use endpoints like GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/authors to enrich Datadog monitors. Combine with metrics from blogs to build alerts. You can also pull slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists for validation.
No heavy coding is required thanks to prebuilt templates and connectors. You can configure triggers, endpoints, and mappings in a few clicks. If you need advanced logic, you can add minimal scripts in your Datadog workflow.
Data can stream in near real-time or on a defined cadence depending on the trigger. Real-time is possible when using publish/update events, while scheduled pulls provide consistent intervals.
Essential endpoints include GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/authors; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId can push updates. These enable monitoring of posts, categories, and authors and support alerting.
Store API keys securely, rotate tokens regularly, and prefer OAuth token-based auth. Use least-privilege scopes and follow best practices for secret management.
Yes. Datadog dashboards and monitors can be configured to trigger alerts based on post metrics, slug integrity, and publish timing. You can customize thresholds and notification channels.
If rate limits are reached, implement retry logic and backoff. Use the Blogs API rate limit headers and consider caching where appropriate. You can also schedule pulls to spread requests.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
